Sony PRS-300 Review Pocket Friendly and Pocket-Sized
The Sony PRS-300 is one of the most popular pocket-sized digital book readers. If you want an entry-level but high-quality ebook reader, the PRS-300 is perfect for you. And if you are specifically looking for a compact digital reader that you can fit in your pocket but one that still offers excellent quality, this is the correct Sony Reader model for you.
The PRS-300 may not be the most advanced model under Sony’s popular ereader series, but it is the most portable, which gives it an entire segment of the ereader market all to its own. Those who are looking for a small go-anywhere device with all the important features will enjoy this gadget. Called the Sony Pocket Edition, it is the library you can take with you wherever you go.
But what’s the real deal with the small and affordable Sony PRS-300?
The most important advantage of the Sony Reader Pocket Edition is its size, but one thing that makes this device even better is that even at its small size, it offers the same quality of digital reading that its larger counterparts do.
It uses the same E-ink Vizplex technology present in most digital readers around but converts it into a 5-inch screen to fit into the small frame of the device. The screen makes sure text is easily readable even in direct sunlight. Despite the small size of the gadget, you will be able to see your ebooks clearly especially with the three font sizes available.
Navigation
To make navigation easier and to cater to all possible user needs, the PRS-300 also comes with page advance buttons on both its right and left hand sides. The buttons are easy to use so navigation is not a problem even with such a small device.
Memory
Memory is another one of the most important factors when it comes to digital book readers. This is not a problem with the Sony Reader Pocket Edition. Though it does not offer gigabytes of memory, its 512 MB of memory is enough to let you carry around up to 350 different ebooks at a time. That’s more than enough for a device this small.
Other Features
The Sony PRS-300 also has a host of other features. For one thing, the e book reader allows you to customize your reading experience by allowing you to choose between landscape and portrait modes. You also get quick page turns as you go along.
The e-book reader also ships with the Sony eBook Library 3.0 software, which works on both Mac and PC, so you can download and manage ebooks in your device. You can transfer your ebooks using the included USB cable.
The Verdict
Overall, the Sony PRS-300 is the true testimony that size does not matter. Even with its small compact body, Sony packs in as much punch into this pocket-sized device as it does in its other digital book reader offers. Supporting multiple file formats and offering a read-anywhere experience, this is the perfect partner to the book lover who loves to go places.
